What is a Battle Rifle

Get Entered to WIN this legendary BAR! DEADLINE to ENTER is 04/26/24 @ 11:59pm (PST). “Battle rifle“ is not a formally recognized term like “assault rifle“, but it is widely used, and I think it has a lot of utility. It is intended to differentiate between intermediate-caliber and full-power military rifles, and to that end I propose these four criteria to define a “battle rifle“: 1 - A military style or pattern rifle 2 - Intended primarily to be fired from the shoulder 3 - Self-loading (either semi- or fully automatic) 4 - Chambered for a full power rifle cartridge All the best firearms history channels streaming to all major devices: Cool Forgotten Weapons merch!
